Taheya is one of my favorite dancers and my favorite Golden Era dancer. She is the epitome of elegance. Btw, I found the beginning paragraph about your experiences growing up very fascinating. I often wonder how regular people closer to that time felt about these famous bellydancers.
Great post about a great dancer. The Egyptian music of her time is uniquely exquisite and she moved beautifully to it, especially her arm movements. Your recollection of how you perceived dance in your early years is an interesting side note to Said’s essay, which I also like. Thank you!
